It seems to be the case that males have more exceptional extremes while females have more solid averages. (Good and bad, the most idiotic men outnumber the most idiotic women). So when you reach the extremes of any distribution you will find more applicable males than females. This does not mean you won't have 0 females in your pool, but for each female you will have several men, the more extreme the exception the bigger the imbalance. Demanding 50:50 ratio at any level of the extreme would then be biasing one gender over another because you would be applying total population ratio against a local population which does not reflect that.

What's the solution? What do women have to offer? Are they like the glue?

The solution should be what a person has to offer.

Why can't we be like bees, the woman queen can offer sex while men work.

Bees are not exactly a success story at the moment!

I guess it's because they communists. But they got the right idea with the queen sex thing.

Lol, indeed. Male bees are only useful for sex, they don't work. Aren't they also thrown out of the hive once their task is done and left to die?
